Sazuki studies me.
I feel his inspection like a flame on my skin. “What?”
“Is your boyfriend working here truly a coincidence?”
I scowl. “He’s not my boyfriend. He gave up that position months ago.”
“He seems interested in reprising the role.”
“He can be interested in whatever he wants to be. It doesn’t mean I have to entertain him.”
Sazuki looks pleased. “How did you two meet?”
“Why should I tell you that?”
“Inter-office dating is not allowed.”
I snort. “You don’t have to worry about us getting back together.” I cross the room to the wall with the hanging guitars. “I don’t give cheaters second chances, so it’s never going to happen. Ever.”
Pushing up on my toes, I try to snatch the neck of the guitar. It’s about a hundred inches off the ground. My hands miss by a mile.
Frustrated, I turn around. “You should really drop these guitars lower. How do you expect children to…”
The rest of my words get clogged in my throat when Sazuki brushes against me. He leans forward and I duck my head like a turtle retreating into its shell. As tall as he is, he easily plucks the guitar from the hook and offers it to me.
My eyes widen. Every thought in my head vanishes.
He’s so close.
And he smellssogood.
I gather my wits and take a deep breath before saying, “What are you doing?”
His eyes meet mine. “The point is to keep the expensive instruments out of children’s reach.”
“On behalf of all short-stacks, I object. Your design should have accounted for adults who are vertically challenged.”
His lips curl up and he smiles.
Dimples.
Two of them.
They sink all the way into his cheeks.
Oh, Lord.My heart can’t stop flailing.
Sazuki arches a brow. “Are you going to hold it?”
“Hold what?” I blurt, my throat tightening.
“The guitar.”
“Oh.”
His smirk gets a little wider.
Struggling to breathe, I grip the guitar tightly and hurry to the stage. What was that? Why is Sazuki making me feel tingly inside?
